Despite his time in the military and his years with Homeland Security, Aiden had no idea how the woman who called herself his mother had managed to get inside Michael Maddox’s supposedly impenetrable home.

The place was secure. Fort Knox secure.

He scratched his chin and sank onto the couch in the living room. He lowered his eyes on the newly poured drink in his hands. Just as he was about to take a sip, his pocket began vibrating.

He sighed as he reached for his phone. No call evident. His pocket was still vibrating, though.

My other phone. He must’ve been drunker than he realized. He dropped his personal phone on the couch as he dug into his other cargo pants pocket.

“Not now,” he mumbled as he stared down at the caller ID on the burner phone. He shoved it back in his pocket, ignoring the vibration that lasted for an additional few minutes. She’d have to wait. He was in no mood.

And what would he say?

J-4-76. The fecking group exists, and my mum runs it. Some kind of luck. He rested his head back against the top of the couch and shut his eyes. He rotated his wrist a little and his drink swirled, spilling drops onto his pants.

What in the hell do I do now? He swallowed, squeezed his eyelids even tighter, and blew out a breath. He knew exactly what he had to do, and the fact that his mother was involved changed nothing.

He couldn’t let it change anything.

God, what would his father think if he found out the truth? The man was still hopelessly in love with a ghost of a woman he had known for only a week—how did someone fall in love with someone after just a week? No—his father, God love him, was a fool.

His eyes flashed open at the sound of his burner phone buzzing again, with a loud and obnoxious tone. An unknown and foreign sound. As he retrieved the phone, he dropped his glass in its place and cursed as it shattered at his feet, liquor spilling across the hardwood.

His phone, which was set to silent and vibrate, had just screeched at him. How’d that happen?

He stared at the screen. A message from an unknown sender. I know what you’ve been planning. Back down. He read the message over and over in his head, trying to make sense of it.

He squeezed the phone in his hand and made a call. “Did you text me?” he asked through gritted teeth.

“Of course not. But we need to talk.”

He lowered his voice, careful not to let Ava hear him. “Did you give this number to anyone else? Did you tell anyone else what is going on?” He stood up from the couch, stepped around the broken glass and spilled alcohol, and walked toward the closed wall of windows.

“Absolutely not.”

“Someone knows about us. I’ll be in touch. Don’t call this number again.” He ended the call, entered the kitchen, and searched for a heavy object.

“What’s going on?”

His head whipped around just as he tossed his crushed phone into a nearby drawer.
